What is your favorite type of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.)If I had to pick: brinner. I love eating breakfast for dinner! Bacon, hashbrowns, sausage, etc. There is almost no brinner food that I don't love.

What is the name of your favorite restaurant?Not sure I can pick a single favorite, but we go to Mickey's Diner in St. Paul a lot (Willy's on West 7th, not the one in downtown). Great prices, and they make amazing hashbrowns. O'Brien's hashbrowns / O'Brien's Special: one of my favorite things to eat.

Do you like fast-food?I can't say I prefer it, but it really depends on where it is. Franchise fast food is so hit or miss, and I don't rule out an entire franchise based on one location (The McDonald's in Inver Grove Heights on the corner of 80th and Cahill is definitely the nicest fast food service in the Mpls/St. Paul area).

Do you prefer to be alone or in a group when you eat out?Well, not alone. That's a little weird. But I have a hard time conversing with everyone if it's more than probably 4 or 5 people. 6 is manageable.

Do the waiters/waitresses at your favorite restaurant know you by name?If not by name, by order. When we go to Mickey's, if Brian is working our Diet Cokes beat us to the table and he remembers that I like my hashbrowns extra crispy and my husband doesn't like lettuce on his Sputnik. He's forgot to nix it before, but Brian remembered. It was fantastic.
